Two years ago today, Mike Bouwman asked me to be his girlfriend.

We were at his house, on our second date, and I was so nervous I hardly said anything. We made supper together and listened to music. I was hoping the whole time that he didnt think I was boring for not talking a whole lot. I later found out that he was scared that I was going to be boring, but he liked me too much to let it change anything. 
its probably my good looks...

After supper we started a movie, sitting on opposite ends of the couch. I wanted so badly for him to put his arm around me,  but apparently he was nervous too.  Eventually he asked me if I wanted popcorn, and of course I did, so we went downstairs to use their fancy popcorn machine. Man, was that popcorn delicious!  While we waited for it to pop, mike asked me how I felt about this whole thing, if I had prayed and asked God for his blessing for us to date. I told him I did, and I felt good about it. He said he did too. Then we hugged. The longest and most meaningful hug I had ever had. We were both so incredibly excited and nervous.

Obviously we cuddled while watching the rest of the movie. 
And kissed a little bit.
I never wanted to leave.

But that was just the beginning of an amazing adventure that we are still living.

Im such a lucky girl for finding such an amazing partner in life. 
I thank God for bringing us together and never allowing us to part.



























we have fun.
